How did the growth of towns hurt the feudal system?
The "feudal system" (or what we call the feudal system), was based on a system of lords and vassals. I lord gave out a fief, a income producing territory (sometimes a land to grow crops on, sometimes a road with permission to tax it), and that created loyalty to the lord in return for protection. The agricultural revolution led to a boom in population and because of that, these rural estates ran by lords could no longer support every child being born, so there was an urbanization that took place during this time. As a result, towns could produce goods outside of the essentials for survival and they became the center of economy. The majority of the population remained farmers, but the center of an area shifted from the rural estate to that of the city. As a result, lords lost a lot of the power they had had under the "feudal system" and the royalty began to regain a lot of the control they had lost during the rural based system some still call the "feudal system

What social class in Europe gained power after the crusades?
That would be the Burghers, or the middle class. After the crusades, trade required a money economy to be used throughout Europe, undermining the way the Feudal system worked. Lords had to pay their serfs, and there was little way for them to do that. As a result, many of the lords lost land and the serfs on it were freed, becoming the Middle Class. Another reason that some of the lords were displaced is because some nobles died in battle in the Crusades and their land went to kings. Other nobles sold their land for war supplies and allowed their serfs to buy freedom and inhabit the town or be free on the land. The middle class was also on kings' good sides in the first place because the King could collect taxes from them to fund wars.

How did the growth of towns weaken the feudal system?
During the Middle Ages, the growth of towns weakened the feudal system in several crucial ways.

For another thing, the wealth of the small but growing "middle class" gave them more and more power with which to use as a new, independent force in the governance of lands once solely governed by the feudal lords.
